Dear Inkscape Users and Developers,
After a lot of backwards and forwards between osuosl and fastly.net we have put in place a solution for our website's access in China. The problem was that our chinese visitors would be able to get the website, but not any of the media (or downloads) because of their great firewall.
The solution was a CNAME from media.inkscape.org to fastly and some special dns configuration which I barely understand to solve the issue with access to fastly caches. (I copied and pasted what people said in two tickets and acted as a manual ticket express for the professionals)
This solution is now live and I invite people in China to test the website and please report back if they can see any issues. (and also if they would like to translate pages) :-)
Best Regards, Martin Owens
